Eeek!

It certainly is a bug. Looking at the 229-reply parser code, it is so stupid
it makes me scared! ;-)

But not only is this a bug in curl that makes this not bail out with a nice
error message, the response from the FTP server violates RFC2428 that defines
how the EPSV response is supposed to look like. It cannot contain an IP
address like that (although the EPRT response can). I would thus call this a
bug in the ftp server as well!
